Ok, folks. I don't know about you... but is 24 taking a stab at our government agencies in portraying them as completely incompetent? I mean, my God... let's count the tactical blunders that happened this last week. No one was aware of two guys with a rocket launcher and SMG around the pertimeter that was supposedly cleared by CTU field agents? Tony and his backup allow themselves to split up enough to allow a missing suspect on the premises get the jump on them?
I know we're supposed to throw reality out the window to an extent... but this is bordering on the insane. And now Fox has announced that they're renewing 24 for two more seasons... as much as I will continue to watch, it can only go downhill even faster. And what plotline can they even use for one season, let alone two??? Alien consipracies, and zombie corpses of Teri, George Mason and Nina Myers staggering down Rodeo Drive?
I hope I'm not alone in thinking this way.
Actually, it's nice that they set it up so that there is something to build on next season... like the Palmer cliffhanger after season 1. That's what was annoying about seasons 2 and 3, it just wrapped both of them up without really any buildup of a potential issue in the following season. It'll be nice to see if they can do some exploitation of the corrupt government plot.
One bone of contention... I don't see how the Chinese are going to buy into the fact that Bauer's dead without evidence of a body.

they talked about switching the body and the fact that jack wont be around for a while should make them believe it enough
Great Finale!
I'm glad they left room in the last hour for things to calm down.
That's what was missing from other Seasons.
They really did a DAMN good job this season.
I was sad when Jack got dumped by Audrey.
Got sad when Jack and Palmer had their final conversation.
The 24 theme playing at the end with him walking away in the sunrise was GREAT!!! I LOVED IT!!!!
Now it's time to go back and watch this season non-stop back to back
Can't wait until Jan. 2006

...until someone wants to look at the body for confirmation. What, the Chinese consulate will just say "Oh, ok... so he was killed off, good. And even though you've been lying about CTU being at the site of the attack, we still believe you." Given the extremes they went to, I would expect them to be demanding to see a corpse.
